0 Metal Jacket Mag – Buffalo Theory MTL – Skeptic Knight (Stand Productions)

  • February 23, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Buffalo Theory MTL

Uvjeren sam da imaju prilično zabavne liveove jer im glazba zvučikao ozbiljna zajebancija. Ritam je još uvijek stonerski mid tempo, ali je bubanj “gust” te s toliko udaraca pjesme im dobivaju na vrhunskoj težini koju moram priznat još nisam sreo u tom žanru.

0 The Metalist – Demise of The Crown – S/T

  • February 23, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Demise of The Crown

The opening track of ‘We Are Invincible‘ sets the tone of the album, that the band are going to blast some real in-your-face power prog, and they are going to be relentless in the flurry of notes that comes this way. It’s mid-tempo heavy riffing with fast, technical and melodic solos

About:
Martriden are an all-American nightmare producing blackened death metal with progressive and symphonic highlights that sound straight from the depths of hell. Established in 2005 in their home state of Montana, USA and now residing in Denver, CO. The band’s name is derived from the Scandinavian word “Maradraum” meaning nightmare. The name is also associated with various folklore of a malignant female wraith who causes what is now known as sleep paralysis.
Their sinister arrangement of black and death metal is influenced by their European counterparts while maintaining distinctly, unapologetic American style. The band draws inspiration from greats like Opeth, Behemoth, and Bloodbath, while crafting their own symphonic elements. Martriden are known for writing soaring tracks courtesy of Shane Howard writing thick guitar riffs paired with his brother Kyle’s keyboard and acid gargling vocals. Will Thackeray wraps up each song tightly around his dark guitar riffs for the perfect balance of melody and heaviness. Shane currently records and engineers albums in his Sawn and Quartered Studio and does recording collaborations with Dave Otero at Denver’s Flatline Audio Studios.  He has been involved in the recordings of Wayfarer, Satan’s Host, Khemmis, and the last two Cattle Decapitation recordings.
Following successful US tour dates with the mighty EMPEROR, as well as the release of their 2010 ‘Encounter The Monolith’, 2007’s ‘The Unsettling Dark’ via Candlelight Records and 2006’s self-titled EP via SOAR, the band has released their most anticipated album to date: “Cold And The Silence” on November 28th, 2015. Their release is a seven track, full-length album, which compromises nothing in terms of production and depth of story. The album deals with life in general with each song telling a story and themes about the insignificance of human life compared to the vast entirety of the universe.

The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums) recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away…) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.

RAPHEUMETS WELL Streaming New Track ‘Planetary Cenotaph’ via MetalNationRadio

Sign w/ Test Your Metal Records For New Album ‘The Exile’ Due Out March 18th

The Exile – Promo Video – Watch here.

      Blending a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds, Hickory, N.C. based RAPHEUMETS WELL (Ra-few-mets) bring forth a voyage enriched with lore, fabricated from scratch to show the depth in which represents them as artists.
Formed in 2008, 2011 and 2012 saw their first two demos followed by their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse.
From the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL‘s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities, which is now continued in the band’s sophomore release ‘The Exile’ due out on March 18th, 2016 via Test Your Metal Records.
 
With their upcoming release, RAPHEUMETS WELL have teamed up with MetalNationRadio for the premiere of their second single ‘Planetary Cenotaph’, which can be heard at the following link: http://metalnationradio.ca/exclusive-premiere-rapheumets-well-streaming-new-track-planetary-cenotaph-via-metal-nation-radio/
 
Drummer Joshua Ward comments on the single:
 
“Planetary Cenotaph, being the last song on the album, was a bit “challenging” for us in terms of composition as we write the music to the story.  The main character just destroyed an entire planet.  Due to his immortal  “curse” he is floating in the stellar remnants of his home-world.  While his body is reforming and he is adrift he has a lot of time to think.  His wife wife and kids were murdered, his empire betrayed him, he was tortured, he has seen some very wild stuff.  He is processing the events in a very numb and displaced way.  The emotions of the song actually came from the deaths of family members of the band recently.  In the last two years we lost four parents and a grandparent, all within months of each other.  So, this became a memorial song to them while keeping to the context of the story.  What better way for us to honor someone than to write a metal song!”

About:

Inspired by the fictitious universe of Sovael, RAPHEUMETS WELL is the name coined to the conscious deity who oversees the anastomosis of the multiverse, the master of portals and inter-dimensional travel. Being personified as a trickster, Rapheumet often creates chaos for unsuspecting voyagers. The word “Well” refers to the gravity wells, which like black holes, are catalyst of change and gateways between the cosmic plains.
“We created this name in hopes of personifying a living gateway between dimensions. We love science fiction and a few of us have extended education and degrees in science.” says drummer Joshua Ward.
Live the band’s concert theatrics is a show truly to entertain the crowd with an opus of metal while still satisfying their story lines in their music creating an intimate but relatable ambiance for fans, especially those who enjoy bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Faceless, Emperor, Black Crown Initiate.
